Unlock the Mysteries of Seville’s Santa Cruz Neighborhood
ABOUT THE The Jewish Seville Free Walking Tour
This tour is operated by our partner Free Walking Tours Seville.
This Free Walking Tour leads you deep into Barrio Santa Cruz, Seville’s former Jewish quarter and one of the city’s most enchanting neighborhoods. Guided by a passionate local expert, you’ll wind through narrow lanes, hidden patios, and evocative plazas that spring to life with centuries of history and folklore.
Exploring the Heart of the Old Quarter
Your local guide will show you the must-see spots, from the tranquil Plaza de Santa Marta to the sun-dappled arches of the Plaza de la Alianza (Gate of Forgiveness). Along the way, you’ll learn how this district grew up alongside the Royal Alcázar and Murillo Gardens, and why its twisting streets were once home to a thriving Sephardic community.
Legends and Legacy of the Sephardim
Hear the captivating stories of the Sephardic Jews who shaped medieval Seville: their contributions to science, art, and commerce, and the enduring legends that still echo through Plaza Doña Elvira and Susona Street. You’ll visit the Hospital de los Venerables, discover the hidden Roman Temple at Mármoles, and end your journey in the bustling Plaza de los Refinadores, all while gaining fresh insight into Seville’s rich multicultural past.
Join us for this engaging Free Walking Tour of Seville’s Jewish Quarter and uncover the secrets, stories, and spirit of Santa Cruz!
